In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Indriyagrāma (इन्द्रियग्राम) refers to “all the senses”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Like a plantain tree, the great illusion, whose layers [of leaf sheaths] along with the mind and senses, perishes totally when it has produced the fruit of the no-mind [state]. When the wings, which are the in and out breaths and whose sphere of operation is all the senses (indriyagrāma), are cut off, the mind-bird being motionless [in the air], plummets. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
